NDC unveils Support Packages for Businesses to Implement 24-Hour Policy

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has outlined several support packages aimed at businesses that would implement the 24-hour economy policy if rolled out.

Speaking at the party’s 2024 manifesto launch in Winneba on Saturday, the former President highlighted seven packages designed to help businesses operate under the policy.

The “game changer” policy according to him, will help create more jobs by allowing three people to share a single job, with each working an 8-hour shift.

Touching on some of the packages, Mahama said, he would stimulate demand for 24-hour economy goods and services.

He added that the next NDC government would make strategic investments in infrastructure, security, and energy to support the policy’s implementation.

The former President also emphasized that his government would provide affordable and reliable electricity, alongside tax incentives for businesses that implement the 24-hour policy.

Touted as one of the NDC’s flagship initiatives, the policy promises to be a catalyst for reviving the country’s dwindling economic fortunes, resetting the economy, and creating more job opportunities for the teaming and overwhelming unemployed population, occasioned by the abysmal performance and poor economic management programs of the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
